Coeliac · Gluten-free

Best effort, No marked menu but staff will accommodate when asked. Quality varies by who's working that shift; safer to call ahead and confirm.

The venue's menu lists 'Gluten Friendly Croutons' for the Chicken Caesar salad, and the website states the kitchen uses gluten (among other allergens) and cannot guarantee an allergen-free environment. No dishes are marked GF and no dedicated gluten-free equipment or procedures are noted. Staff should confirm any options before ordering.

The menu includes a 'VEGAN CHEESE & THYME MUSHROOM' toastie and offers oat, soy, almond and coconut milk for smoothies. However the kitchen states it cannot guarantee an allergen-free environment due to shared use of dairy, eggs, and fish. Vegan options are best-effort and cross-contamination is possible.

Best effort, No marked menu but staff will accommodate when asked. Quality varies by who's working that shift; safer to call ahead and confirm.

The menu states dairy is used throughout the kitchen and no separate procedures or dedicated equipment are mentioned. A few items (smoothies with plant milks, likely the vegan toastie) may be dairy-free, but cross-contamination is likely in a shared kitchen. Lactose-free milk is available for coffee.
